Bug#612985: libglib2.0-0: glib 2.28 and g_file_query_default_handler

[Itaï BEN YAACOV]

Package: libglib2.0-0
Version: 2.28.0-1
Severity: normal

My two bits of extra info.
First, this is clearly a problem in 2.28.0, downgrading to 2.24
(from squeeze) solves the issue.  Looking bit deeper in
gvfs-open, the problem is in g_file_query_default_handler.

Now here is an extra bit which I haven't seen reported yet.
Assume I launch

gvfs-open http://www.google.fr

Then it runs iceweasel (default - no other browsers installed)
correctly, even though I configured a personalised script, as in
earlier reports, whcih is annoying.  However, lauching :

gvfs-open http://www.ingdirect.fr

I get

gvfs-open : http://www.ingdirect.fr : erreur d'ouverture d'un emplacement : Erreur HTTP : Connection terminated unexpectedly

Going back to gvfs-open, our problematic g_file_query_default_handler
simply returns NULL.  Clicking on the same link from, say, evolution,
has the funnier effect of putting evolution in an infinite loop.

I did not venture to debug g_file_query_default_handler...

All the best,
I.
